Permit for dewatering pipeline approved

Chiropractic animal clinic permit revoked

The Logan County Commissioners took care of several items of business during special meeting Friday and a regular meeting Tuesday.

Friday afternoon the commissioners met for a short special meeting to approve an agreement with Pawnee Ridge Homeowners Association and issue a right-of-way permit for use of the county right of way under County Road 37 for construction of a de-watering pipeline.

The item was tabled at a previous meeting due to lack of a quorum. It was approved Friday on a 2-0 vote, with Rocky Samber recusing himself because he is a member of the HOA.

Work will be completed by March 31, 2017.

Tuesday, the commissioners unanimously approved a resolution rescinding a previous resolution and revoking a conditional use permit on behalf of Sheila Decker for the operation of a chiropractic animal clinic on property located at 21871 C.R. 44, in Sterling.

Rob Quint, of the Planning and Zoning Office, explained Decker submitted a request to revoke the permit for financial purposes. She did not commit any violations; the sole reason the permit was revoked was because she is not allowed to have a business run from her home address due to financial purposes.

Additionally, the commissioners approved a resolution and application on behalf of Darrell and Ellen Buckler for vacation of a subdivision exemption plate previously approved for Allen Mitchek in 2004. Along with that, they approved a resolution and application on behalf of Mitchek and the Bucklers for a subdivision exemption to create an 8.25-acre tract from a 267.40 acre agricultural parcel located at 21575 C.R. 34, in Sterling.

The board also signed off on an agreement with Xcel Energy and issued a right-of-way permit for use of the county right-of-way along C.R. 35 for a ¾-inch PE natural gas service.

Plus, they approved a resolution for the re-subdivision and replat of lots 11 and 12, Skyline Heights Subdivision, second filing, and lots 13A and 14A of Adney Baessler Replat of lots 13 and 14, Skyline Heights Subdivision, second filing, located at 18795 Cherry Lane, Sterling.

Samber clarified that all four homeowners that are affected by this are in agreement. Quint said all homeowners are okay with this, as it is purely to correct lot lines where buildings have encroached on another lot line.

During a work session following the business meeting, the commissioners set their annual Christmas coffee for Wednesday, Dec. 7.

Plus, Jennifer Crow, administrative assistant for the commissioners, informed them that some of the programmed colors for the courthouse lighting are not displaying properly, so Collins Control has been contacted. She is also still looking into getting an expert programmer to help the county with the lights; the cost would be around $120 an hour.
